Boat Sinking?????

As it was a brand new boat purchased at a marina on the lake, it was most likely already in the water when the owner took possession. If there was a problem, marina staff should have found it IMO. Drain plugs, torn boot, whatever, should have been spotted, if that was indeed the cause.

Of course all we are doing is speculating on possible causes. I am sure there will be some sort of investigation to determine the actual cause of the sinking, and of course it is possible that no cause is positively identified.
